...cathode in ordinary vacuum tubes, one end of the molecular rectifier would act as a donor of electrons because it would be made out of a molecule that had a lower binding energy. The other end, carrying a higher binding energy, would serve as an anode, or electron acceptor. Thus, if an external alternating voltage were applied, the large molecule would act as a rectifier. It would allow electrons to flow in only one direction, from donor end to acceptor...
Achieving the precise spacing between donor and acceptor points to avoid the molecular version of a short circuit may be difficult, Aviram and Ratner admit. But, adds IBM Physicist Philip Seiden, chemists are already skilled at manipulating molecular structure and might be able to build molecular devices that will some day perform all the chores of today's tiny chips...
After the report is in, if it be accepted by one disputant (say Ethiopia) and rejected by the other (say Italy), then if, but only if, the rejector makes war upon the acceptor, the whole constellation of League States is bound under Article XI to take action "deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations...
...challenge with a time limit, contrary to the custom of all college procedure in cases where championship races have been planned. It is on this ground that the New York Clipper, the most professional of all sporting papers, sustains their action. It says that "In the event of no acceptor appearing, sporting law and custom, meaning the code practised by professional oarsmen, will uphold them." To resort to professional methods for obtaining a title seems very objectionable; to resort to the same means to make a race, which could be obtained, if at all, by the usual methods known...
